Next I moved onto making AN fuel lines. This was a MAJOR pain in the ass. Turns out Redhorse fittings that are turns (45*, 90*, 120*) are SLIGHTLY larger than the actual AN size. This means the wrenches will not fit. Had to improvise with a few other wrenches.
Nice build.
I've had the same thing with Earl's, Aeroquip and others. Doesn't make much sense to have to put a steel wrench on a new aluminum fitting but...........
If I had known I wouldn't have spent $50 on AN wrenches but it is what it is.
IIRC, the AN wrenches always fit the hose end fitting but not the adapters or 90 degree connectors. Just did a dry sump pump where none of the 6 adapters could be removed with an AN.
Yea, pisses me off every time, you need one AN and one steel wrench.
